Tiny bullet age

[OxShoeDrew]

I find these little guys all the time. Usually they are off white and have hit something. This one is either gold color or painted gold. The bottom is concave like a minie ball. Anyone know an approximate age? Thank you! :groovy:

I'm curious too- I've found a few... :yes:

I don't know a lot about bullets- except the musketballs, buckshot and minies :drool:

and of course the shotgun cartridges >:/ At least here in Kentucky... they're all over the place near the old homesteads.

looks like 22 shorts.and you can still buy them.

Thanks JT, they must have been shooting little varmints. I guess I can't put an approximate date on it.

Tanacat, don't they ring up nice? I always think I have a coin.

they have been making them for a good many years,it would be very hard to tell the age of then little buggers,I've found a lot of them at old farm sites.
